If Mitt Romney had talked about Palestinians the way Obama spoke about Pennsylvanians

Mitt Romney is under furious attack from the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and pro-Obama media for pointing out the truth about why culture matters in the economic success of Israel.


How would these people have reacted if Romney gave this speech:

You go into these small towns in 
Pennsylvania
 the Palestinian Territories, and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest Middle East, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Rabin administration, and the Bush Netanyahu administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

 And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-
immigrant
Israeli sentiment or anti-tradeJewish sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.


I suspect the reaction would have been what it now is, with absurd charges of racism and cultural insensitivity.


What a difference a continent makes.
